Organic Rechi Chili Powder, Red, 5,000–15,000 SHU

Product description

Organic Rechi Chili is a finely ground, bright red chili powder with a medium heat level of around 5,000–15,000 Scoville Heat Units. The balanced blend of different organic chilies makes this a highly versatile seasoning for professional kitchens, catering and food production.

Thanks to its fine to slightly flaky grind, Biova chili powder is easy to dose, flows freely and distributes its heat evenly throughout the dish. Careful selection of raw materials and gentle processing help ensure consistent quality in every batch.

Whether for stews, curries, marinades, BBQ rubs or dips, this medium-hot organic chili powder adds reliably controlled heat and an appetising red colour to a wide range of dishes. It is ideal for seasoning Tex-Mex, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-style recipes.

Origin

The chilies are sourced from Spain, Uganda, Tanzania, India, Nigeria, China and Zimbabwe, where warm climates and abundant sunshine provide ideal conditions for open-field cultivation. Different soils and microclimates shape the multi-layered flavour profile that Biova uses deliberately for this spice blend.

Cultivation / Processing / Harvest

The chili plants are grown in open fields and harvested at full maturity when the pods have turned a vibrant red. The pods are then gently dried and milled into a fine to slightly flaky powder, which Biova supplies as bulk product in practical large units of around 1.05 kg.

Key features

A defining characteristic is the heat range of around 5,000–15,000 Scoville, corresponding to property group 5,001–20,000 and providing a well-controllable medium heat. The “fine / flaky” grind makes it easy to incorporate into both liquid and solid foods and supports an even heat profile in standardised recipes.

Differences in origin and processing

Spanish chilies typically contribute a mild, fruity, paprika-like note, while pods from Uganda, Tanzania, India, Nigeria, China and Zimbabwe tend to deliver more pronounced heat and savoury depth. By carefully blending these origins and using gentle processing, Biova achieves a rounded, stable flavour profile across the entire batch.

Taste & aroma

On the palate, the chili powder is pleasantly medium-hot with a warm, slightly fruity spice. The aroma is intense and savoury, reminiscent of sun-dried paprika with a clear chili note, while the strong red colour gives sauces, marinades and finished dishes an appealing appearance.

Suggested uses

• Seasoning stews, soups, braised dishes and curries with reliably controlled medium heat.
• Preparing marinades, BBQ rubs and dry blends for meat, fish or vegetables in professional kitchens and large-scale catering.
